I remember playing a videogame once where the US annexed Canada. It was about this guy who had to survive after a nuclear fallout and explore the post-fallout wastelands. I think it was called Sonic in Stupidtown.

Here are some things to do while you are in the UK:
- Eat some Spotted Dick
- Take a walking tour of the street where The Queen, Harry Potter, David Beckham and Mr. Bean live
- Kill a fox for fun
- Mix with the locals and stop what you're doing at 4:00PM for "tea time"
- Become a victim of knife crime

LOL I don't think Boney is painting an entirely accurate picture of what true British culture is like. Tea time can be anywhere between 4 and 5pm and doesn't have to feature just tea; I've even seen little triangle sandwiches being eaten on occasion.

I'm sorry, but when I refer to "British culture" I mean "what intelligent, cultured Britons do". If we were to include the things you do, nobody would jolly well come would they? Let's say I went for tea time at 4:30. I'd end up having to call my butler to wash the dishes during the finale of Deal or no Deal, instead of during the first commercial break.

Deal or No Deal is a poor man's Countdown, there I've said it.

I play Countdown at home. My wife puts on her maid costume and plays Carol Vorderman, my 2 sons sit in dictionary corner with a leather-bound copy of the Oxford Concise, then we invite contestants over to play. I even had a 6-foot goldplated clockface installed onto the west wall of my drawing room.

If you are determined to visit the UK grab some alcohol at your first stop, failing that, bring some of your Canadian (or neighboring US) alcohol with you, you'll certainly need something to dilute the fat-ridden local UK cuisine of 'Full English Breakfast' and 'Fish and Chips'.

Where you go is entirely up to you, it all really depends if you want to be a part of the sheep culture that follow in their droves towards London or if you want to shed the flock and see what the UK is really like (the Irish, The Scots, and the Welsh aren't trying to be independent of the English for nothing). The beauty of all this of course, is what the US achieved on July 04 1776, but just spare a thought for the oppressed that are still under the futile banner of 'kingdom' when you visit.

One more thing, when everyone around you thinks the whole world is going into another Ice-Age just agree with them, a few fucking inches of snow and Great Britain's England can't cope!.

When Britain first, at heaven's command,
Arose from out the azure main,
Arose, arose, arose from out the a-azure main,
This was the charter, the charter of the land,
And guardian angels sang this strain:

The nations, not so blest as thee,
Must in their turn, to tyrants fall,
Must in ,must in, must in their turn, to tyrants fall,
While thou shalt flourish, shalt flourish great and free,
The dread and envy of them all.
(Chorus)
Rule Britannia!
Britannia rule the waves.
Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.

When Britain first, at heaven's command,
Aro-o-o-ose from out the a-a-a-zure main,
Arose, arose, arose from out the a-azure main,
This was the charter, the charter of the land,
And guardian A-a-angels sang this strain:

The nations, no-o-o-o-ot so blest as thee,
Must i-i-i-i-in their turn, to ty-y--yrants fall,
Must in ,must in, must in their turn, to ty-y-rants fall,
While thou shalt flourish, shalt flourish great and free,
The dread and e-e-e-e-nvy of them all.
(Chorus)
Rule Britannia!
Britannia rule the waves.
Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.
